How Ladies deal with Stress

High School is a stressful time for any girl! Boys, grades, work, sports, and maintain a social life, it's just not fair how much weight we have on our shoulders at this time in our lives. Many of us do not know how to deal with it at all or don't know how to deal with stress correctly. If we figure out how to deal with it, we can knock our stress level way down. First off, you have to realize what you are stressing out about. Now all you have to do is help ease the stress. A good way to deal with stress is to talk about it! Find someone you can rely on. Whether it is a close friend, a relative, or a teacher. Just find someone! You would be surprised how much it will help to hear another person's take on the situation. Another you can turn down your stress levels is to take deep breaths and try to wash all the stress from your mind. Also, you can make a to-do list. Try to get something on your list accomplished everyday! Try to take a nice, warm bubble bath. This will help your body relax and ease tension. Listening to music can help inspire, as well as relax you.

Applying Makeup

It is hard to go anywhere without seeing makeup malfunctions! It could happen to any of us! Makeup disasters can range from looking like a cake face ( to much makeup everywhere) to picking out colors that do not compliment your skin tone. I would like to take this opportunity to help assist with these make up faux-paws. Before applying ANY makeup gently cleanse your entire face, including your neck. Next apply a moisturizer, it is nice to pick a moisturizer that has a built in sunscreen. You can go to a makeup counter at a department store and they can help you find the perfect color for your skin tone. Apply Concealer where you see blemishes and under your eyes, no one likes purple- brown bags under their eyes. Next apply foundation on your forehead,cheeks, and chin and blend in with a brush. Try to avoid using a sponge to blend in your foundation. Sponges soak up your makeup, which can be a complete waste of money. When putting on eye makeup start with eye shadow. Try to use 3 different shades. The lightest shade should go towards the eyebrow and lid. The darker color should go on the eyelid. Then apply eyeliner, use it sparingly or else you might appear to have squinty eyes. Next coat eyelashes with mascara, throw away mascara after 3 months of use to avoid clumpy mascara. Blush has to be applied in little amounts as well, make sure the color isn't too overwhelming. Blush should just make you have a little glow not make you look like someone smeared lip-stick on your cheeks. Put blush on underneath your cheekbones. Hope I could help!!

Dating!

I couldn't figure out how to put a chart on here so I will try to do that next time! Sorry! Any who, let's talk about something that causes a lot of stress....DATING! First off, you have to dress the part, don't wear something to skimpy or something that doesn't flatter you. Make sure to wear something you know you look amazing in, and also something that makes you feel comfortable. Secondly, don't use bad words. Choose your words wisely. Try to keep a constant voice level when you are talking to your date, you don't want to think you are lecturing them. If you are going on a dinner date, try not to stuff yourself silly. Quick Hint: If you're not sure how much money your date is planning on spending, ask him what he is ordering and then find something else on the menu that is around that price. Most importantly, stand up straight and act like you have all the confidence in the world and nothing could possibly bring you down! OOO I almost forgot! Try to read up on special events, politics, or even good movies and good music. This will help the conversation going and going! Until next time!

What makes a Lady?

What makes a woman a lady? This is a very good question. It depends on how you view things. I believe a Lady is a person who carries them self well and is a well-rounded person. I have a book titled "How To Be a Lady" and the qualifications for being a Lady, in that authors view, are very strict. For instance, it says Ladies should not talk to their girl friends about their boy drama. Of course girls talk to their friends about their boy drama, it's only natural. There is clearly many different aspects a woman must have to be considered a Lady. I will poll my fellow classmates about what the feel makes a Lady. I will share my findings with you in my next update :)
